Fiji’s Likuliku Lagoon Resort has again been awarded Best Fijian Property in the 2016 Hotel Management Awards in front of a record crowd in Sydney.

The winners of the 2016 HM Awards for Accommodation Excellence, presented by Sealy Posturepedic, were named in front of a record 700 attendees at the Sydney Town Hall last Friday night (September 2).

Hosted by television personality Larry Emdur, the HM Awards have, for the 14th time, recognised the accommodation industry’s finest staff, properties, brands and chains across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.

The team at the luxury couple’s-only resort with Fiji’s only over-water bures, are once again thrilled and honoured with the recognition of this 2nd consectuvie allocade, and now five times overall.

Since its opening in 2007, the 100% Fijian family-owned resort has been consistently recognised for its luxury over-water and island beach accommodations, leading edge cuisine and unparalled service delivery which has provided guests from around the world a truly unique Fijian experience.

Group General Manager Steve Anstey says, “This is the fifth time in the nearly 10 years we have been open that we have won this prestigious award and we continue to be humbled and amazed to be honoured and recognised by the industry in this way. It is a wonderful achievement and it is a testament to the quality of the product that we continue to aspire to achieve. Thank you to our incredible staff and of course, to all our valued guests for their continued amazing support”.

Fijian owner and Managing Director, Tony Whitton, said, “This is big news once again for our team – that we have Fiji Resort experiences that are being counted amongst some of the best in the world, holding their own with other famous hotel and resort brands – some of which who are giants in the industry.

Being only nine years old, we believe we have firmly established that we have filled a niche in Fiji on all things Fijian, from traditional Fijian architecture to service delivery and with a unique product offering of Fiji’s first and only over-water bures. We thank the HM Awards and the travel industry at large for this acknowledgement.”
